Intermittent showers have brought much-needed relief to wildfire teams in western Oregon, helping to cool down the flames and improve the air quality. However, the broader wildfire crisis continues to deepen, with the death toll rising to at least 35 across California, Oregon, and Washington. The welcome rain also brings with it the risk of floods and landslides on the charred, unstable terrain. Firefighters are capitalizing on the improved conditions to strengthen containment lines and prevent further spread of the blazes.
